Living a digital life with empty pockets

Dressing Room Blue new collection

Thanks to massive SL borkage on the day that I bought just about everything in the new Dressing Room Blue collection, two of the items completely vanished from my inventory. I tried all the usual inventory recovery tricks, from clearing cache to logging onto Aditi grid. Nothing worked. The items were gone. I received no response to my support ticket, so I had to buy the items again. Just to poke my tongue out at Linden Lab, I’m blogging those two missing items today: Exile’s Bianca hair (four colours in the pack) and Kunglers’ Heaven dress. Both of these are L$60 each, so while I only lost L$120, that’s still flipping annoying. Thanks a bunch, Linden Lab :(

About SL for Nowt

So what is SL for Nowt all about? (Hey, that rhymed…)

Initially, I wanted to see if it was possible to create an entirely new avatar in the Second Life world, without putting in any money of my own. I planned to do this by picking money from money trees only. No camping (sitting on chairs/mopping floors/doing other activities that make an area look busy, in return for small amounts of cash), and definitely no begging! I set myself the goal of a minimum 50L$ per day from the money trees, and met this target on most days. I even exceeded it a lot on a few days. Along the way, I spotted (and screencaptured) many odd things, met some interesting people, got annoyed at the rudeness of ’some people’ and generally had a fun time.

The blog has now taken a different path, since my original goals have now been met. Now, SL for Nowt is all about finding freebies and cheapies, living a virtual existence in the Second Life world on the cheap, and helping out newbies as much as possible.

SL for Nowt has moved away from WordPress hosting, as I was unhappy with WordPress inserting ads into my content that I had no control over. It’s now self-hosted, so please hop over and pay a visit to the new blog!
